Sydneysiders are flooding the market with more than 2500 properties up for auction in the weeks before Easter.

The Easter holiday and the Anzac Day long weekend a week later have prompted a rush, with almost 800 auctions scheduled this weekend, 820 the next and 1025 on April 12.

Vendors have been lured onto the market by its strength, yet some may have left their run a little late. Inner-city agents report their market is starting to cool, with stock levels now up as much as 100 per cent on last year.

Yet across Sydney, most properties are still finding a buyer. Weekend auction clearance rates have been above 80 per cent for the past eight weeks.
